Hades Studios

Let's face it, mixing Metal is different from mixing other forms of music. Making a good Heavy Metal record requires a unique approach and production mindset, and a careful attention to detail to avoid getting lost in the immensity.
It takes not only a well-trained ear, but also knowledge and experience in creating dense, heavy sounds, and awareness what works and what doesn't based on genre standards.

This is why Hades Studios exists. Making budget-friendly yet competitive Hard Rock and Metal records.

Hades Studios is the personal home studio of Matt Hems, metal musician, music lover, and audio enthusiast. With nearly 2 decades of musical experience in all aspects of production and performance, Matt is as diehard a Metal fan as they come.
